CRISOLES offers an exploration of the non-human point of view in relation to the ways humans use and transform planet Earth. The work uses satellite dishes as screens, thereby enhancing the concept of attunement to another’s point of view, inherent to the function of an antenna.
Each crisol becomes a journey through underwater, terrestrial, or atmospheric landscapes—places from which one might receive the command to immediately evacuate the city of Pripyat in 1986 or understand that a spacecraft capsule carrying astronauts must be rapidly detached because the mission has failed. These scenarios evoke the tension between the human impulse to transform and the mode of existence of every other living creature, where there is almost always an imbalance of power.
CRISOLES
Video installation, 2019
4'12" loop, three simultaneous videos. Quadraphonic surround sound
3.5 × 8 × 8 m
Unexpected points of view invite the viewer into a shifting visual experience, where the horizon line moves unpredictably. Moments of atmospheric synchronicity across the narratives of the three projections alternate with moments of independent narrative within each crisol, allowing the projections to interact with one another.
